Put a pension to work
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.GEOFFREY BERNSTEIN, the actuarial firm, is offering a fee- based service to find the best annuity when the time comes to convert a pension into income.
For pounds 350 plus VAT the service will scan 50 insurance companies, including those that do not pay commission. If an annuity is chosen which pays commission, normally 1 per cent, this will be rebated.
Many people assume mistakenly they have to take their pension from the same company with which they used to invest their pension money.
A 65-year-old man with pounds 100,000 for a pension, for example, would have got pounds 11,653 a year with Pearl Assurance and pounds 11,183 from Scottish Widows.
